1. Please give a big thanks to Veronica Maria Jarski for her work here in the Beginning Writers column over the past several months.
2. Please pray for her as she takes a sabbatical from the CWG blog to deal with a family emergency. We have a handful of other CWG members submerged in difficult times, please remember them as well. If you would like to post specific intentions for yourself or others, please do so in the comments box.
3. But rejoice, writing tips abound all the same! Here is Veronica’s Collection of Tips for New Writers. Here is her writing blog, Station 6, currently on sabbatical, but a treasure trove of archived posts for your browsing pleasure. She reminds us that she can also be found at MarketingProfs Daily Fix blog, and that if you search around the MarketingProfs site, her slideshows are archived there as well.

Although it is a pleasure to have seasoned pros write for the CWG blog, remember that we are also here to give new writers a chance to practice the craft. If you are a dues-paying member of the Guild and would like to guest post for us, we’d be happy to have you. Posts should be approximately 500 words or less, and in some way related to the topic of Catholic Writing and Publishing.
[You also must hold the copyright to your material. We do run re-prints on a space-available basis — priority always goes to new articles — but be sure you hold the rights to your reprint before you submit it. Remember also that once it appears here, it counts as “published”, so please don’t send us that beautiful article you are also hoping to submit to someone else — send it to them first.]
If you’ve got a post you’d like to share on the blog here, please e-mail me (Jennifer Fitz) at:
blog [at] catholicwritersguild [dot] com.
Put “CWG Blog” somewhere in the subject line.
Use the same e-mail address for getting your website placed in the member’s sidebar. [This is a benefit of Guild membership for dues-paying members.] I know we have a few members missing, and I’d love to get your info so we can include you. In your e-mail give me your name as you wish it to appear in the sidebar, and the link you wish us to use. If you have more than one website, please choose your best site, or the one you wish to promote most, and then make sure readers can easily find your other websites once they click on your main link.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Jennifer Fitz
